;Bazzite
:A solid choice for gamers and an excellent entry point for Linux newcomers who prioritize gaming. Its image‑based design makes the system stable, secure, and easy to use while delivering top‑tier hardware and game compatibility. Steam arrives pre‑installed, along with NVIDIA drivers, HDR and VRR support, and tuned CPU schedulers for responsive gameplay. A suite of community‑developed tools and tweaks further streamlines the streaming experience. Bazzite shines on x86 handhelds such as the ROG Ally, Legion Go, and HTPC setups. For desktop PCs, it offers a seamless, user‑friendly, and reliable environment—ideal for anyone who wants a hassle‑free experience. More advanced users seeking a less opinionated system and willing to tinker may prefer alternatives like Chimera OS or Nobara.
 
;Nobara Project
:Built on Fedora, Nobara incorporates extensive gaming optimizations and is spearheaded by GloriousEggroll, the creator of the GE‑Proton compatibility layer. While a handheld version exists, Nobara is primarily recommended for desktop PCs, where its Fedora foundation and gaming‑focused enhancements deliver a powerful, flexible platform.
